What you must know about Yoga in Malaysia

Argument about Yoga for Muslims

Even though yoga is perceived as an extremely healthy form of exercise since it was practiced centuries ago, in 2008, Malaysia’s top Islamic body prohibits Muslims from practicing yoga. Many argued and commented that the regulation is illogical. According to the conservative Islamic body, yoga incorporated several aspects of Hinduism in Indian exercise that can eventually poison the minds of those practicing it.

Related to Hinduism

National Fatwa Council Chiarman, Abdul Shukor Husin said that Muslim practitioners failed to understand that the real purpose of practicing yoga is to be one with god of a different religion. And in this context, the god referred to Hinduism. This statement in fact contradicts with yoga practitioners as they said you need not have a religious element to join yoga classes.

Argument about Yoga for Muslims

He added that yoga originates from Hinduism contains several aspects namely physical exercise and worshipping in order to seek and achieve inner peace within oneself that leads one to be with god.

Marina Mahathir’s point of view

Such illogical restriction generated various positive and negative responses from the society. When Marina Mahathir (a prominent activist in Malaysia) heard the news, she expressed some of her concerns – since the council ban yoga, what next? The body can simply make up other decisions in the future without considering the consequences.

Yoga not against Allah

The conservative Islam in multiethnic Malaysia also imposed several other moves – non-Muslims are not allowed to use the word ‘Allah’ as it will confuse others. But such serious move to ban Muslims from practicing yoga has triggered those who are currently attending yoga classes.

Yoga is practiced and accepted globlally

A Muslim yoga practitioner was angry as she said the statement is an insult to her belief. Yoga is widely practiced globally as in recent years, more gym introduces it as part of physical exercises that helps to provide an integrating mind, spirit and body.

Pointless decisions by Fatwa

There are no real figures pointing the exact number of Muslims practicing yoga in the country. But all in all, whatever decision made by National Fatwa Council, they should consult other parties before imposing such illogical decision on the people.
